Etymology of ILIOPECTINEAL

The word "iliopectineal" is derived from two root words: "ilio-" and "pectineal".

The prefix "ilio-" is derived from the Latin word "ilium", which means "flank" or "groin". "Ilium" refers to the upper part of the hip bone, specifically the broad, flaring portion.

The term "pectineal" is derived from the Latin word "pecten", which means "comb". The root "pecten" is often used in anatomy to describe structures that resemble the teeth of a comb. In this context, "pectineal" refers to the region near the pecten pubis, which is a ridge on the superior pubic ramus (part of the pelvic bone) resembling a comb.
